Business | Learn How Clay Clark Helped Sierra Pools to Go from a Startup to a Multi-Million Dollar Success Story & Business Over the Past 5 (Nearly 6) Years

My name is Cody Albright and this is my wife…

Rachel Albright.

… and we are from Inola, Oklahoma. We don’t actually own a business yet. We’re starting a business with my father-in-law, her dad, Sierra Pools and Spas.

We actually heard about it from my dad who listens to the ThriveTimeShow on 1170 and he’s an entrepreneur, so he recommended this conference to us. I have learned really just the skills to get started with the business. I came in not knowing even where to start, where to begin, just feeling a little bit overwhelmed with the whole process, and I feel like Clay really gave us the information to not only get started, but once we do get started to get moving with the business and actually get things rolling.

Being in the beginning process, I don’t know much. Coming into this conference, I didn’t know much about sales, business, marketing, and nothing I learned in high school. So, I feel like I learned actually a tremendous amount of things, practical things I could put to use. I would describe it very welcoming, atmospheric, warm… Is that a word?

Yeah, it’s very relaxed. Clay’s a very great speaker. He made it really fun, lots of energy. Say it was a great experience,

Very homey.

It’s awesome. It’s a little bit eclectic, but you definitely get a sense of what they believe in, and their energy here, and their purpose here. You can definitely see it all over the walls and everywhere.

I would describe him a very well communicator, very funny, very energetic, very passionate, very knowledgeable, and just fun to listen to.

It was very interactive. Clay always was there to answer any questions that we have. At any point we could ask any questions and he was very willing to answer them, and even in between, he’s very approachable. Talk to him about anything. I would say they’re missing just the jumpstart to get their business to a place where it’s serving them and where it’s really making the profit that they want to see. It’s accomplishing the goals that they have in their mind, or say they’re missing the practical skills to make that happen. Clay does not try to upsell you on anything. He’s definitely here to just help you out. He wants to give you all the skills that you need to get your business where you want it to be so there’s no pressure. It’s totally relaxed.

Yes, I describe it no pressure, and I’m a people pleaser, so I would fall into those sort of things. Yeah, I would say it’s very relaxed, very non-pushy.

It’s definitely worth your time. It’s definitely worth the money, because all the things that he’s going to teach you, you learn them in a very quick amount of time, but they’re all very applicable if you actually put in the time to use them.

Hey there, Cody with Sierra Pools and Spas. Just a few system wins that I’ve had that Marshall and Thrive15 has really helped me with. One thing in construction. My construction manager, he used to call me all the time. One thing that Marshall recommended that we have a set time that he calls me every day. He’d call me constantly and I never gave him a time like, “Hey, this is when you can call me.” So, he’s probably afraid to call me, but I set a time every day at 11:00 AM that he calls me with all the updates and stuff like that, so that that’s really helped so far. He doesn’t call me as much anymore. I made a joke out of it. That’s kind of like our time that we spend together at 11:00 AM every day that he gives me on the updates.

Another system win that I just dreaded was calling the clients every day to give them an update on their pool process. I don’t like being called every day, so I really didn’t like this idea at first, but I have to say at the end of it, it’s really helped really me feel better about the process and it definitely helps them see the vision of the project and they’re always in the know. They always know what’s happening. So, at first I was real hesitant of it, but now I see the benefit of it. It’s really helped our process and I don’t have to feel stressed about the clients are going to be angry at me. They always know what’s going on, so it’s really helped them a lot. We do the hiring process too. Every Wednesdays the group interviews, this is another thing real hesitant on doing. I just thought it was going to take a lot of time out of our week, but really it’s been really good just weeding out the people that we know that we aren’t going to hire, can’t even show up to a meeting, but it’s really helped us.

At first if I didn’t know about this system, I would’ve been frustrated and real stressed out, trying to find time for people that say they can’t make it at a certain time, but we just say, “Hey man, we just do interviews Wednesday at 5:00 PM” and just kind of leave it at that. Another thing we use that’s been really helpful is just putting everything on a calendar. I just put everything that I’m doing for the week, or the next week or so. I just put it all on a calendar so I could see everything on there. I wasn’t really an organized person. I didn’t ever use a planner in school, so this has really helped seeing the whole vision of it. I know that was longer than 30 seconds, but that’s two and a half minutes of me complimenting all the good systems and stuff that I’ve been putting into play. That’s been really helping us out a lot, so thanks.

We are Randy and Stacy Risenhoover of Verdigris. We were looking through some companies and we came across Sierra Pools. We thought we would look into them because they were a family-owned and operated pool company. We have had a pool before and we’ve been wanting one for quite a while, so the time was right and we were able to put one in.

What we liked most about the experience was the opportunity to make changes when we needed to. We had a situation where the pool, we didn’t feel like it was the situation that we wanted, so we were easily able to make changes. The owner came out the next day and made changes when we needed to.

We saw their advertisement on the internet and we gave them a call, and Cody and Rachel came out and had a couple of visits with us. We decided to go with them because they were family-operated.

What we like most about our new pool is it attracts kids and a lot of our kids’ friends, so we have a good time here in the backyard. It’s also easy to maintain. Like Stacy had said before, we had a pool previously and with the new equipment that we have these days, the new cleaners and that type of thing, it’s easy to maintain. It’s been really easy since we had it installed.

Yes, I worked with Rachel on the design of the pool. We knew that we wanted a rectangle-type shape, but we knew we didn’t want the hard lines of a rectangle, so we made it a freeform around the edges and with us working together, we came up with the perfect design.

The reason that we’d recommend Sierra Pools is because of the experience that we’ve had with Rachel and Cody and the owners in being able to install a pool over the time period that they recommended. I think it was nine weeks, and they made good on that. The equipment is top-notch. The quality of the materials, everything’s worked out great for us.

Hi, I’m Dr. Mark Moore. I’m a pediatric dentist. Through our new digital marketing plan, we have seen a marked increase in the number of new patients that we’re seeing every month, year over year. One month for example, we went from 110 new patients the previous year to over 180 new patients in the same month, and overall, our average is running about 40 to 42% increase month over month, year over year. The group of people required to implement our new digital marketing plan is immense, starting with a business coach, videographers, photographers, web designers. Back when I graduated dental school in 1985, nobody advertised. The only marketing that was ethically allowed in everybody’s eyes was mouth-to-mouth marketing. By choosing to use the services, you’re choosing to use a proven turnkey marketing and coaching system that will grow your practice and get you the results that you are looking for. I went to the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry, graduated in 1983, and then I did my pediatric dental residency at Baylor College of Dentistry from 1983 to 1985. I established my practice here in Tulsa in 1985.

The ThriveTimeShow. Two-day interactive business workshops are the highest and most reviewed business workshops on the planet. You can learn the proven 13-point business systems that Dr. Zoellner and I have used over and over to start and grow successful companies. We get into the specific steps on what you need to do to optimize your website. We’re going to teach you how to fix your conversion rate. Now we’re going to teach you how to do a social media marketing campaign that works. How do you raise capital? How do you get a small business loan? We teach you everything you need to know here during a two-day, 15-hour workshop. It’s all here for you. You work every day in your business, but for two days you can escape and work on your business and build these proven systems, so now you can have a successful company that will produce both the time freedom and the financial freedom that you deserve.

You’re going to leave energized, motivated, but you’re also going to leave empowered. The reason why I’ve built these workshops is because as an entrepreneur, I always wish that I had this, and because there wasn’t anything like this, I would go to these motivational seminars, no money down real estate Ponzi scheme, get motivated seminars, and they would never teach me anything. It was like you went there and you paid for the big chocolate Easter bunny, but inside of it was a hollow nothingness. I wanted the knowledge, and they’re like, “Oh, but we’ll teach you the knowledge after our next workshop.” The great thing is we have nothing to upsell. At every workshop, we teach you what you need to know. There’s no one in the back of the room trying to sell you some next big get-rich-quick, walk on hot coals product.

Literally, we teach you the brass tacks, the specific stuff that you need to know to learn how to start and grow a business. I encourage you to not believe what I’m saying and I want you to Google the Z66 Auto Auction. I want you to Google Elephant in the Room. Look at Robert Zoellner and Associates. Look them up and say, “Are they successful because they’re geniuses, or are they successful because they have a proven system?” When you do that research, you will discover that the same systems that we use in our own business can be used in your business. Come to Tulsa. Book a ticket, and I guarantee you it’s going to be the best business workshop ever, and we’ll even give you your money back if you don’t love it. We’ve built this facility for you and we’re excited to see you.
